Preliminary images have surfaced which showcase Porsche’s 918 Spyder prototype – complete with black and white paint scheme that evokes memories of the 917 racers of old. With production set to commence in a little over a year, the plug-in hybrid will feature a 500 horsepower 4.0-liter V8 engine and two electric motors – with 0-60 mph capabilities in 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 199 mph. One of the most unique elements of the automobile is that it can utilize electric power at speeds up to 94 mph. The Porsche 918 Spyder prototype will retail for $845,000 USD.
